Fiction, Fantasy
A tale of mystery, revenge and intrigue on the streets of a magical London.
It s said that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, then the Tower will crumble and the kingdom will fall. As it happens, that s not so far from the truth...
One by one, the magical wards that guard the city are failing: the London Wall defiled with cryptic graffiti, the ravens found dead at the Tower, the London Stone destroyed. This is not good news. This array of supernatural defences - a mix of international tourist attractions and forgotten urban legends - formed a formidable magical shield. Protection for the City of London against...well, that s the question, isn t it? What could be so dangerous as to threaten an entire city?
Against his better judgement, resurrected sorcerer Matthew Swift is about to find out. And if he s lucky, he might just live long enough to do something about it...
